From the Dec. 2, 2012, Wilmington (MC) Star-News "Back Then."
SEPTEMBER 18, 1942: North Carolina State and Davidson were having a big football game at Wilmington's Legion Stadium on September 19th. reserve seats were $2 and general admission $1.25. The game was set to begin at 4:45. As such, it must have been lighted.
Most of the lighting restrictions were evidently along the beaches.
This was the first game of the year for the Wolfpack and ended in a 0-0 tie. State also played Clemson in Charlotte that year.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
